Brothers in Flight

LEXINGTON, KY—As we enjoy March Madness, let us not forget those who provide the entertainment that generates the billions of dollars associated with college basketball. To that end, I offer this poem written in 2001…I don’t think much has changed.

Somebody give Darius Washington, Jr. from Memphis a hug. I felt bad for the young brother whose missed free throws kept his team from going to the big dance. Washington played a great game and he’s a pretty good free throw shooter. Too bad he waited until there was no time left on the clock to get hit with a bad case of freshmanitis.

Hey Gladys Knight…Please tell me that is not you in that stupid MBNA rugby commercial. Is there not anything or anyone left sacred in this world?
